TL;DR: In the course of 71 days in lunar orbit, from 19 February to 3 May 1994, the Clementine spacecraft acquired just under two million digital images of the moon at visible and infrared wavelengths, enabling the global mapping of the rock types of the lunar crust and the first detailed investigation of the geology of the Lunar polar regions and the lunar far side.

TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of ice deposits at the lunar south pole was investigated by integrating all relevant lunar polar data sets, including illumination data, ground-based monostatic radar data, newly processed Clementine bistatic radar echoes, and Lunar Prospector neutron spectrometer measurements.

TL;DR: In this article, a study of the possibility that chondrules may have had an independent existence in space was made by searching for unusual track densities in chond rules and by an investigation of the compositions of chondrule rims from thirteen unequilibrated ordinary chondrites.

TL;DR: Observations of the surface of Venus, carried out by the Pioneer Venus radar mapper, reveal a global mean reflectivity at normal incidence of 0.13 � 0.03, with regions of high reflectivity may consist of rocks with substantial inclusions of highly conductive sulfides.

TL;DR: The Mini-SAR as mentioned in this paper is a single frequency (S-band; 13-cm wavelength) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) in a lightweight (~9 kg) package, which utilizes a unique hybrid polarization architecture, which allows determination of the Stokes parameters of the reflected signal, intended to distinguish volume scattering (caused by the presence of ice) from other scattering mechanisms (e.g. sub-wavelength scale surface roughness).
